Tiiic vote for Mayor In New York
city was an exceedingly close one. The
majority for Hancock was about 45,000,
while Grace for Mayor only made bis
election by about 1800. He was nomi
nated as Kelly's candidate In the Cath
ollo interest and the prejudice against
the Catholic Influence in the publlo
schools came near defeating him. The
result shows very conclusively that the
people of this country are very sensitive
when any danger threatens the publlo
schools, and when occasion demands it,
are ready to cast aside party prejudice.
ELECTION RETURNS.
The result of the elections on Tuesday
last, show surprising Republican gains.
Gen, Garfield will receive the vote every
Northern State except New Jersey and
Nevada, and at this writing the result
in the latter State Is uncertain, and the
majority will be small either way.
Pennsylvania gives a majority of about
41,000, Massachusetts 52,000, Iowa 70,000,
'New York 15,000, Maine 4,000, Ohio
85,000, Michigan 38,000, Wisconsin
25,000, Illinois 85,000, Vermont 25,000,
Kansas 35,000, and other States North,
corresponding large majorities. In the
South the Democratic majorities were
large, but In New Jersey the majority Is
about 2,000 for Hancock, while the Legis
lature Republican. The changes in
Congress are also marked. In New
York the Republicans lose three mem
bers, but the change in the other States
show gains that promise to make the
House very close, and perhaps give a
small Republican majority. The Re
publicans carry the Legislatures In the
Northern States where U. S. Senators

Rep., is elected by 187 majority. Fish
er, Republican, in this Congressional
district is also elected by a majority
of over 600.
In this County the whole Republican
ticket is elected by majorities ranging
from 02 to 333. For particulars regard
ing the vote in this county see 6th page.
The New York Herald of Saturday
sums up the result of the election as
follows: In the electoral college Gar
field will have 219 votes, Hancock 150,
and of the popular vote Garfield will
have 30,000 majority over the combined
vote of Weaver and Hancock. The
Senate will be a tie and the House of
Representatives will have three of n
Republican majority.
A Southern View of the Result.
. The Memphis, Tenn., Avalanche, edi
torially, says :
" Hancock's defeat proves that the
Democrats failed to convince the North
ern voter that the restoration of the
Demncrfiiln tmrrv tn tunuM V

but a feebSe attemnt to convince the vo
ter that a change of administration was
necessary. Instead of a discussion of a
measure of publlo Dolicv that wnul.l

jo managers assailed the personal

I A Cattle Train Wrecked.
'trrible railroad accident occurred
I Panhandle route about six miles
('f Steuben vllle,Ohlo, Sunday night
it. Station 3 of No. 3 freight was
' g around a curve over a high
;kinent at a rapid of speed, when
uroko precipitating the whole train
composed of cars loaded with cattle over
the embankment. The cars tumbled
over on tup of the engine and each other.
Engineer Devlne was thrown-, phder
the engine, from which perilous position
he was removed after considerable dig
glng. He was badly scalded and cut up,
but may recover. Fireman Bellevue
was badly bruised and cut up, but not
fatally. One other man was Injured
slightly. Almost 100 head of cattle were
killed, and the sceue at the wreck was
a horrible one. The train men say It Is
the worst wreck they ever saw.
Married His Wife's Daughter.
Adolphus Andrew Hoagland of Shade
vlile, Va., Is 70 years old, and has had
three wives. The first was a widow
when he married her, and had a little
daughter. When his wife died her
daughter was a widowed mother, and
Hoagland, within a few years, married
her. Ten years ago the second wife died.
Her daughter was then fifteen. Five
years elapsed, and then Hoagland again
married his step (laughter, who was also
his step granddaughter. She Is still
living, and her husband's age, aside
from the fact that Bhe had no daughter
when she became his wife, precludes the
idea of his peculiar system being carried
any further. Hoagland declares that
his matrimonial experience, covering
about fifty years, has been exceptionally
happy. The last two wives Inherited
the good qualities of their mothers, and
all were so much alike that they have
seemed to him the same woman, with
youth occasionally renewed. There are
children by all three wives and endless
complications in relationship.
A Rapid Ride.
A miner who has returned from Colo
rada to Pittsburgh says that he knew
some fellow gulch men who were cross
ing the Continental Divide when it was
covered with snow. Three miles below
them, down a decline of forty-five de
grees deeply covered with frozen snow,
lay the spot they desired to reach, while
to go around by trail was fifteen miles.
One of them took a tin pan, used for
washing gold, spread his blanket over
it, got In himself in a squatting position
on his haunches, tucked the blanket
around, held his rifle and other traps
over his head and got one of his com
panions to give him a push. He slid
down at at frightful speed, and shot far
out into the valley at the foot of the
mountain'. When he stopped he found
the soldering of the pan melted from
friction and his blanket on fire.
Cheap Light.
The Nevada Independent says: A
correspondent tells how some fishermen
were surprised while fishing at Pyramid
Lake. They camped In a small valley
and built a fire which spread and, great
ly to their surprise, set fire to jets of gas
from natural wells. They found no less
than nine of the jets within a circle of
about five rods. The gas was found to
proceed from little holes from half an
inch to an Inch In diameter and tho
flames were ten to twelve feet high.
They left the Jets burning when they
broke camp and a few days later they
found the wells still burning. A Piute
Indian went with them. Lighting a
stick he went some rods further up the
valley and touched off a dozen or more
jets that were fed from holes upon and
around a little hillock.
In a Bad Fix.
A Democrat of Jamaica, Long Island,
attended a rally under the auspices of a
Democratic club In an old theatre in
Brooklyn., While there he was struck
with paralysis. This was Saturday
night. When the meeting adjourned,
the rest went out without noticing him,
as be sat still and helpless. In fact, he
was unconsclous.and sat there all night.
He recovered consciousness Sunday
morning, but could not move or make a
noise loud enough to be heard outside.
At eleven o'clock Sunday night he had
recovered enough to groan, and a letter
carrier heard him from the street and
notified the police, who broke in and
took the Invalid home.
A Cute Dog.
Ohio is now trying to get up a reputa
tion for smart dogs as well as statesmen.
From that direction comes a story of an
intelligent dog who was sent to a
butcher's at Logan, in that State, with
five cents every morning, for which the
butcher always gave him a piece of raw
meat. One day he brought a dollar in
stead of five cents, and seemed to wag
his tall as though expecting a bigger
piece of meat than usual. The butcher
Investigated and found that the dog's
master was gone away, and that the dog,
finding himself neglected, had opened
the money-drawer and taken out a nil
ver dollar.
Attempt to Wreck a Market Train.
Readino, Pa., Nov. 4. An unsuc
cessful attempt was made to wreok a
market train on the Reading railroad,
five miles south of this city, to-day.
The train was stopped and the train
hands captured a boy named George Le
van, who gave the names of two ac
complices who escaped. There were
about forty passengers on the train.
Captain Eads' Ship Railway.
The Scientific American of this week
contains two full page illustrations of
Captain Fads' proposed railway for
transporting ships with their cargo
aoross continents.
Captain Fads' claims by his plan to be
able to lake loaded ships of the largest
tonnage from one ocean to the other
across the Isthmus of Panama, as readi
ly as can be done by an actual canal af
ter the Lessup plan, and at a much less
cost for engineering construction.
The project is certainly bold and Inge
nious, and the projector anticipates no
serious difficulties in carrying forward
his enterpke. The engravings. referred
to In the Scientlflo American show the
proposed construction of not only the
railroad, but the appliances for transfer
ring the ships from the water to the rail.
In addition to the large number of en
gravings, illustrative of engineering
works, inventions and new discoveries
which appear weekly, the Scientific
American has, during the last year, de
voted considerable space to illustrating
and describing leading establishments
devoted to different manufacturing in
dustries. This feature has added very much to
the attractiveness and usefulness of the
paper. More than fifty of the most im
portant industrial establishments of our
country have been illustrated, and the
processes of the different manufactures
described in its columns, The Scientific
American has been published for more
than thirty-four years by Munn & Co.,
87 Park Row, New York, and has at
tained a larger weekly circulation than
all similar papers published in the coun
try. The publishers assure the publlo
that they have not printed less than C0,
coples a week for several months, ;

EBTSo many murders have been commit

Canton to vote this bas been that of
Sckwytz, where the popular vote resulted
in a majority of 2,088, against 450 in favor
of the measure. All the cantons which
have re-established capital punishment as
yet are Roman Catholic; but there has been
such an luoieano in the crimes against life
that the other cantons are likely to sanotion
the Infliction of the death sentence.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WasniKOTON, D. C, November 8, 1880.
The people of Washington are disfranchised
at home bat probably many of them did
good service yesterday for both parlies In the
neighboring Btates of Maryland and Virginia.
Dr. Watts never tald a truer thing than that
the devil finds mischief for idle hands. There
are over 8000 men in the District of Columbia
who can not vote at home but who would be
entitled to a vote any where clso In the coun
try. It was too much to expect that they
would slay at homo yesterday with two States
and half a doeen doubtful Congressional Dis
tricts within easy reach. Hundreds of them,
white and black. Democrats and Republicans,
undoubtedly voted where they had no right at
all to vote. It Is probably nseless to ask Con
gress to give the people of this vDIstrlct suf
frage, but It ought to devise some means of
keeping them at home on days of Presidential
elections.
Among Democrats here this morning there
Is a general feeling of hostility towards Bar
num, Chairman of the National Committee.
There la no uniformity In the charges, some
alleging one thing and some another, bat the
disgust at bis management is universal. There
Is complala against Jewell, too, among Re
publicans, but that Is swallowed up in rejoic
ing over the result. Future campaigns will be
run with less National Committees and more
State and local Committees, If one may judge
by current opinion here.
What surprised mo most to day, In conver
sation with Republicans and Domocrats was
the unanimity with whlcb they expressed their
disapprobation of the personal part of the late
canvass, and tliolr entire confidence in both
candidates. I have beard higher praise of
Hancock to-day, from Republicans, than I
should have thought possible a week ago. I
believe from my own knowledge of the Gen
eral, that hardly too much can be said In his
praise. When the trash of the campaign Is
brushed away he will be thoroughly and very
highly regarded by every one. What Is known
as the "military feeling" here has been against
him In this campaign, but no man could possi
bly stand higher among the military men than
the General docs to-day.
It is proposed by those who originated the
"Towpath Clubs," In this city, to continue
their organization and to aid in the forming of
clubs throughout the country. The club first
organized here, and which, I suppose has the
credit of organizing the Idea of a club based on
an Incident In General Garfield's early lire,
was one of the most e Olden t agencies In tbe
late campaign. Its members were sent to all
the Btates where they conld do good, and Its
influence were seen all over the country. The
Idea was a happy ono, and those Republicans
who perpetuate it as now proposed 'will per
haps serve their party efficiently.

"Christian Standard," the leading Religious
papers of Cincinnati, and Is endorsed by the
Mayor and Post-Master of Cincinnati, the Agent
of the American Express Company and Presi
dents of Insurance Companies, as bol og the safest
